Rain becomes heavier and more widespread across western Greece. Largely dry bar some scattered showers for Turkey.
Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow spread across France on Sunday. Rain first thing across the Low Countries will soon clear to allow for a dry but cold day here. Snow pushes into the Belgium later. Cloudy with patchy outbreaks of sleet and snow across Germany and Poland. Some snow showers for Switzerland and Austria. Heavier and more persistent snow over Switzerland later.
Weak high pressure building across Scandinavia will bring mainly dry conditions to Norway and Sweden.

A cloudy but largely dry day for Denmark, just a few scattered wintry showers about.

Early snow clears from eastern France to leave a mostly dry and fine day here. Another band of patchy rain, sleet and snow arrives to the northwest later however and spreads across the Low Countries too.
